The Healing Power of Green Foods
 
James McDonald BSc Dip ION
Nutritionist & Food Therapist
 
Green foods in the form of edible algae and sea vegetables formed the first foods available to life on our planet millions of years ago, then later came hundreds of green foods in our diet that became critical to our health, helping to develop and nourish our body mind and spirit, thanks to powerful nutrition in the form of alkaline reserve minerals, essential fatty acids, natural plant chemicals and powerful DNA building proteins.
 
You will discover the hidden nutrition secrets of greens, and what really gives them such powerful healing & health benefits. Food therapist, James McDonald will explore and discuss how the benefits of green foods in today’s diet can offer an antidote for stress and anxiety, boost energy and vitality, strengthen our immune system, and why greens are considered the ultimate soul food. He will also give you tips to buy and cook the most nutritious greens as well as those that you need to avoid. James takes an engaging, light-hearted, informative, and inspiring approach to this topic and this two-hour event will include audience engagement and a greens drink tasting.
 
James McDonald is a qualified nutritionist and food therapist, currently running an online clinical practice and helping support elite athletes with their diet. He trained with Patrick Holford, renowned nutritionist, and book author.
